Re: Swift container ACLs and container visibility question

 

It all depends on the auth system you are using.

Below is for swauth and tempauth:

Are the users using the same shared storage? If so, set them up as .admin users with the same storage endpoint. If they are not using the same shared storage, then you may be stuck. The ACL support in swauth and tempauth is only on a container level (so you can't give permissions to do an account listing to see the containers in it). Of course, if this is something you need, then patches can be added to support this functionality.

Applying suitable ACLs, it's possible for user's to see the contents of the projects container.  However, is there any way to allow users to see a list of containers used by the project?  Or must I create an additional container to store this type of project "meta data"?  May be a dumb question and more of a "architecture convention" issue, but I'm just getting started with Swift and OpenStack in general and was wondering what other's have done.
